The BBC has captured a striking reality about the Cockroach Janta Party's massive 'Demand for PM's Resignation' march today: it’s no longer just a youth or student-centric protest.

According to BBC reports from the ground in New Delhi, thousands of parents, seasoned activists, and even opposition political leaders have joined the ranks of the students. The sheer diversity of the crowd marching towards the Indian Parliament shows a united front against the establishment.

"We came because these are our children. If they are willing to take lathis for their future, the least we can do is stand in front of them," said a 54-year-old father quoted by a BBC correspondent. The movement has transcended internet memes and meme culture to become a full-fledged societal uprising.
